The Pooler City Council recently unanimously approved a zoning map amendment that will pave the way for the construction of an electric vehicle charging station and a HydroFleet manufacturing and fueling site in Pooler, United States. This HydroFleet facility aims to produce, store, and dispense hydrogen for environmentally friendly trucks, with a set daily production and storage limit of 5,000 kg. Safety concerns revolving around hydrogen were addressed in two town hall meetings, where HydroFleet representatives assured the public of stringent safety protocols and highlighted the benefits of hydrogen fuel. The council's approval comes with conditions, including the requirement for future approvals if the production and storage cap of hydrogen were to increase. The benefits of hydrogen-fueled vehicles were emphasized during the discussions, such as being quieter, efficient, low maintenance, quick to fill, and having a long range. Additionally, hydrogen gas is deemed non-toxic and safer than other fuels, with the ability to disperse rapidly into the atmosphere and being lighter than air. The HydroFleet project is also seen as a source of environmental and economic benefits for the city through tax advantages and revenue streams. The project's next step involves obtaining site plan approval, marking a positive advancement for hydrogen infrastructure in Pooler.
